That is nice to see. I am one of those who thinks wood is good synthetics not so good. Choice gives most what they might want.

I've always used wood until i got my maxus in mossy oak duck bling. But ya i like wood also. I would love to try and convince my dad to get one if we went to argentina or on a pheasant hunt. On the other side of things they added a awesome green truglo sight to the sporter. I have a crappy white bead on mine and i can't stand it. And i don't think it screws off.

Haven't had problems out of mine besides keeping the 90 weight gun oil on there. Mine even shot in 14 degree weather. I was overly impressed cause at the same time my friends benelli nova wouldn't. Granted it could happened to anyone. I just didn't expect a gas auto to shoot in the cold.

I mean the the preservative gun oil that comes on there. I shot the gun without wiping it off. The manual states to clean it before shooting it. And i don't like the amount of oil that comes on the gun. As a result i had extra fouling after my first shooting. The rear of the chamber and the chamber were exceptionally dirty. Thats what i was talking about.

Ya and it catches quite a lot of debris and anything it touches. Took the gun apart the first time there were metal shavings all behind the action and in the gun. I guess from it being so new? It's gonna take breaking in for sure.
